Episode 232: Lorenzo Wilkins

Lorenzo Wilkins is an artist, graphic designer, photographer, art director and videographer in Silver Springs, MD.

Lorenzo Wilkins is a multitalented creative who has worked extensively in his field for more than 40 years! Graphic design, photography, videography…you name it, and Lorenzo has probably had his hand in it. His most recent endeavor, a video series titled “ArtLife/LifeArt: An Insight into Creativity” talks to artists across the creative spectrum (including one of our past guests, Sela Lewis)!

Lorenzo and I talk about life as a designer before the advent of the personal computer, his history of work across print, television, and video, and his advice for designers on maintaining a creative legacy. I hope that Lorenzo’s story helps you with following your passion and fueling your creative self!
